An automotive internal combustion engine burns liquid Octane (C3H8) at the rate of 0.005 kg/sec, and uses 20% excess air. The air and fuel enters the engine at 25 C and the combustion products leaves the engine at 900 K. It may be assumed that 90% of the carbon in the fuel burns to form CO2 and the remaining 10% burns to form CO. Find 1. The actual A/F ratio 2. The kg/sec of actual air 3. The molecular weight of the products in kg/kgm 4. The gas constant in KJ/kg-K

Transcribed Image Text:An automotive internal combustion engine
burns liquid Octane (C3H8) at the rate of
0.005 kg/sec, and uses 20% excess air. The
air and fuel enters the engine at 25 C and
the combustion products leaves the engine
at 900 K. It may be assumed that 90% of
the carbon in the fuel burns to form CO2
and the remaining 10% burns to form CO.
Find
1. The actual A/F ratio
2. The kg/sec of actual air
3. The molecular weight of the products in
kg/kgm
4. The gas constant in KJ/kg-K
